Well ’twas our 6th anniversary on 7th Dec and in true romantic style (soppy sod) I arranged a beautiful bunch of roses to be delivered to Mrs Fogg’s work. But the weather is a cruel mistress and although the company dispatched the flowers in good time, the snow prevented them being delivered until 2 days later. worse than that is the fact that Mrs Fogg had to work in another office and never received them.

In an unprecedented show of customer service, the flower company arranged a second batch to be delivered at their cost so that Mrs Fogg had her flowers, even though a few days late. All I can say is hurrah for these rare UK companies that believe the customer is king.

Happy Anniversary Mrs Fogg.
